"No Tyria, the Gnosis we knew left us the same day he left the temple. All that's left is a traitor"-Syrune

He’s a stoic and brooding drow. He often judges and is hostile to any newcomer who looks in his direction. He lives by the idea of “guilty till proven innocent”, being abrasive towards others.

Within the small friend group, Syrune was the model student Gnosis and Tyria wanted to be. Somehow, their overbearing enthusiasm over learning about runes, combat, and friendship lead Syrune to befriend them back. He would help both in lessons in a variety of subjects and often accompanied them on errands around the temple grounds. He smiled often around these two and felt a true familial connection between them.

Syrune was an elite amongst the higher ranks. He passed his combat, endurance and rune test with flying colors. His strength in melee combat allowed him to wield a long sword with ease. Additionally, his skill in rune magic gave him the opportunity to further upgrade his weapon. Rumor around the temple says that his strength is connected to Plumaria’s

Syrune still holds resentment over Gnosis’s departure. He cared about Gnosis supported him with his love for runes. Syrune felt like he saw Icarus fly too close to the sun when Gnosis discovered what the temple truly did. Syrune had to deal with the ramifications of Gnosis’s actions; all the humiliation, doubt and pain was pushed onto him. Syrune is frustrated over how someone he considered family could leave him to deal with their punishment.

Syrune dedicated himself to surpassing the temple head and worked up the ranks after being appointed a temple guard. When the head passed from old age, Syrune was the strongest member of the temple remaining, thus he was the next in line to rule.

Syrune is aware of the actions his temple does, but desperately wants to prove himself again that he pushes that under the rug. He denotes all the stealing and destruction of other civilians down below as “doing them a favor” because The Clear Skies Temple could better utilize the resources. He doesn’t take joy in it but sees it as necessary for survival.
